This Potato Stamp Ice Cream Cone Art is a fun summertime craft for kids. Bright paint colors, real sprinkles, and some household potatoes are all you need to give this potato stamping art a try!

Potato Stamp Ice Cream Cone

Potato stamping is a simple kids activity that is fun for kids of all ages! It's perfect for the littlest of crafters to the more advanced. We love to paint stamp with potatoes and have even had fun apple stamping. This ice cream cone art was a perfect craft for a hot summer day and adding real sprinkles was my daughters ideas. 🙂 I stepped away from the craft table and when I had come back she had added the sprinkles to the wet paint. It worked perfectly! 🙂

My daughter loves to craft with me and often times she adds her own spin to things. She rarely follows me exactly and I love that. She uses her own creativity and most of the time I take something from her creation 🙂 Watch our video below to see the version she made all on her own.

Supplies needed for Potato Stamping

Potatoes- any potato you have on hand will work. Parents, just cut your potatoes in half so you have two circles.

Craft Paint - in your favorite colors. We chose a bunch of summer shades

Construction Paper - brown construction paper makes for the perfect ice cream cone.

Sprinkles- we used real sprinkles on our ice cream art but you can also use confetti/sequins in place

HOW TO MAKE POTATO STAMP ICE CREAM CONE

1. Cut your potatoes in half. ( Parents)

2. Dip your potatoes in paint and place on paper in ice cream cone design.

3. While the ice cream shape paint is still wet add a touch of sprinkles, push slightly down with your fingers so that they stay secure once dried.

4. Once your paint is dry add a red pom pom to your ice cream cones.

5. Cut out ice cream cone shapes out of your construction paper and glue below ice cream scoops.

I just love a fun but simple craft. This DIY Macrame Rainbow charm is a perfect craft project to make on a summer or rainy day afternoon.

Easy enough for older kids, teens, and adults, this craft requires very few materials. Hang up a grouping of them as a banner or mobile or use individually to add some pizzazz to your backpack or suitcase.

I'm making up a batch of these to hang in the window of my new grandson's nursery. He is a rainbow baby (as is my daughter) so the rainbow symbol is pretty meaningful for all of us.

DIY Macramé Rainbow Charm

List of Supplies:

1. Cotton rope - 1 cm thick

2. Cotton rope - thin

3. Colorful yarns - 3 different colors

4. Felt

5. Tapestry needle

6. Hot glue gun

7. Scissors

Instructions:

Step 1:

Determine the size of the macrame rainbow charm and ten prepare 3 pieces of ropes from the 1 cm thick rope bundle. Place the ropes on a flat surface and form the shape of a rainbow to measure the length required for each rope. Cut each rope according to the required size for the rainbow pattern.

Step 2:

Grab a yarn bundle and any one of the rope cutouts. Leave an inch of the rope intact from either end and then tie the yarn around the rope tightly.

Step 3:

Align the small open end of the tied yarn along the rope and start to wrap the yarn around the rope. Try to keep the wrapping as neat and adjacent as possible.

Step 4:

Continue to wrap the yarn around the rope until an inch is left on the other end.

Step 5:

Keep 2 inches extra on the open end of the yarn and then insert a tapestry through its open end.

Step 6:

Draw the needle through the wrapped yarn and draw it outwards after crossing 5 more wrappings. Cut off the extra yarn. Similarly, prepare the rest of the ropes by wrapping them with different colored yarns.

Step 7:

Take a piece of the felt and cut an arch shape out of the felt from its bottom side.

Step 8:

Use hot-glue to attach the shortest yarn wrapped rope around the curved birder of the felt (along the bottom side of the felt).

Step 9:

Attach the rest of the ropes one by one on the felt. After attaching all ropes on the felt, cut the felt along the outer border of the top rope.

Step 10:

Open lose the twisted parts of the ropes on both open ends of the rainbow pattern.

Step 11:

Attach pompoms along the top side of the macramé rainbow if you'd like to.

Zelf een waterbaan maken? Dit heb je nodig:

Houten plank steigerhout

Kleeffolie

Plastic flessen

Stuk tuinslang, pvc pijpen of trechter(s)

Emmer

Duimspijkers, houten schroeven, tape en/of siliconen

Oude bloempot

Gieter

Schaar en mes

Zo maak je zelf een waterbaan :
1. Teken niet van te voren hoe je je waterbaan zal maken, maar ontdek samen met je kinderen welke route het water zal afleggen. Wij kozen voor een lange houten plank in steigerhout en beplakken het met kleeffolie om de plank waterdicht te maken. Je kan deze plank ook vervangen door een pallet tegen de muur te zetten of een houten schutting te voorzien.

2. Ontwerp nu je eigen waterbaan door gaten in plastic flessen te maken met je schaar of mes. Maak de flessen vast aan het hout met duimspijkers of met houten schroeven. Verbind de flessen eventueel met stukken tuinslang of pvc pijpen. Test tussendoor welke weg het water aflegt en ontdek zo welke gaten je groter of kleiner moet maken. Te grote gaten kan je eventueel waterdicht maken met siliconen of tape.

3. Zet onderaan een emmer zodat het water kan opgevangen worden. Kleinere kinderen hebben een opstapje nodig om zelf water in de baan te kunnen gieten.
